HomePod is Apple’s foray in the smart speaker market. It’s a convenient interface for Siri, so you can just talk while walking around the house to make plans, answer calls, and all the other stuff you usually use your phone for. It comes with HomeKit too, so you can control connected devices with your voice, whether it’s the garage door, your TV, or a tracklist on Apple Music. Additionally, special sensors tell it how to tune sound for for any space.

HomePod normally costs about $350, but Aaron B. gets to take one home for free. “This is truly an honor and I love it,” he says, “Thanks again to #CultOfMac and #StackSocial. You guys rock!!!!”
